·I have noticed on some cars, mostly high-performance and luxury cars, that the gas pedal hinges from the floor rather than floating on a suspended arm under the dash. Why some cars have one over the other, I have no clue, but I have grown to like to look and overall driving feel from base-hinged gas pedals.
Now, have you ever driven an Acura TSX? It is supposed to be a revised Honda Accord. In the Accord, the pedal is suspended as in a Miata, however, the TSX has a base-hinged gas pedal. The moving parts are all the same, if you look closley. The difference is, on the Accord, Honda simply puts the cover on the hanging arm...like in a Miata. In the TSX, Acura fixes a hinged plastic pedal to the floor; when depressed, it pushes the hanging arm the Accord has.
How difficult, do you think, would it be to retrofit the Acura TSX pedal hinged-base pedal in a NA Miata?
